SEA AND SKY
BY J. LE GAY BRERETON.
_Small Quarto. Edition limited to 500 copies. Price, 3/6; posted, 3/8._
Any lover of Australian verse unacquainted with Mr. J. Le Gay Brereton's
work has a real pleasure in store. The poems in this collection are
unique, and as the _Bulletin_ says, "Such careful work, so delicately
done, is a rare portent in our vague Australian sky."
The _Scotsman_ writes that "Sea and Sky" "reflects no little credit upon
the condition of poetical culture in Melbourne."
"In Mr. Le Gay Brereton's 'Sea and Sky,'" says the _Bookman_, "one has
some of the most delicate and essentially poetical work that has yet
been written in Australia."

POETICAL WORKS OF WILLIAM GAY
With Biographical Sketch by J. Glen Oliphant.
_Bound in Full Cloth, Gold Blocked, Gilt Top. Crown 8vo. Price, 3/6;
posted, 3/9. The authentic and only complete edition._
This Scotch born poet, driven like so many, before and since, to seek
health across the sea, has left a rare memorial in the land of his
adoption. We cannot call him an Australian poet. "His poetry," says his
biographer, "was universal, not local, and might have been written
anywhere," but as his life was linked with Australia, we are glad to
count him among her sons, and to remember that he found under her skies
greater spiritual peace, and a measure of physical strength sufficient
to leave this legacy.
"Gay's finished achievement.... He held by clarity of thought and
expression above all things.... Gay's poetry ... will assuredly
endure."--_The Argus_, Melbourne.
"Many of the sonnets show an unusual command of language, and one at
least, 'To Triumphe,' leaves us wondering what we may not have lost by
the early death of their author."--_Birmingham Post._
